Ebook The Fraud Management Lifecycle Theory: A Holistic Approach to Fraud Management

Submitted by wulan on Sat, 12/12/2009 - 01:27

Fraud losses continue to impact virtually every business enterprise. Caveat Emptor, let the buyer beware, tells only half the story. The other half is told by Caveat Venditor, let the seller beware.

The costs of fraud are passed on to society in the form of increased customer inconvenience, opportunity costs, unnecessarily high prices for goods and services, and criminal activities funded by the fraudulent gains. But what if there existed a Fraud Management Lifecycle that when managed effectively, with successfully balanced components, would significantly reduce the losses and societal costs associated with fraud? This study developed a theoretical framework for the Fraud Management Lifecycle and tested it with empirical research.

Ebook Incipient transport of silt-sized sediments

Submitted by antoq on Fri, 12/12/2008 - 01:15

Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine the influence of stream bed shear stress and water chemistry on the sediment transport rate for silt-sized particles near the critical threshold for motion. Experiments were conducted in two large recirculating laboratory flumes, 40 m and 12 m long, with a small sediment bed 40 cm long. The sediment transport rate was determined from the volume of sediment eroded from this sediment bed per unit time. The smaller flume was filled with deionized water, to which specific electrolytes were added to vary the water chemistry.

Dimensional analysis predicted the sediment transport rate of non-cohesive material can be described by two dimensionless groups, one for transport and one for bed shear stress. A new transport model was developed on physical considerations for particles smaller than the thickness of the viscous sublayer, and supported this conclusion.

Ebook Liquidity and Expected Market Returns: An Alternative Test

Submitted by puput on Thu, 01/14/2010 - 02:56

One of the most active areas of research on liquidity over the past two decades has been an examination of its effect on asset prices. Beginning with the pioneering work of Amihud and Mendelson (1986), much of the earlier research has focused on whether the level of liquidity is an attribute of individual securities that affects their required rate of returns. Consistent with the notion that investors must be compensated for the higher transaction costs that they bear in less liquid markets, these studies have generally found a positive illiquidity-return relation across stocks using a variety of liquidity measures. In addition to the level of liquidity, other aspects of liquidity are also found to influence expected returns. Chordia, Subrahmanyam, and Anshman (2001) find that the variability of dollar volume and share turnover has a significant negative effect on stock returns and Chan (2002) documents that stocks with greater persistence in illiquidity have higher average returns.

The recent discovery of commonality in liquidity by Chordia, Roll, and Subrahmanyam (2000), Hasbrouck and Seppi (2001), and Huberman and Halka (2001) has raised a new question about the role of liquidity in asset pricing. Namely, their findings have initiated researchers to seek whether market-wide liquidity is an important factor in explaining the cross-section of stock returns. Pastor and Stambaugh (2003) create a return reversal measure, which captures order-flow induced temporary price fluctuations, and find that expected stock returns are cross sectionally related to liquidity risk. Acharya and Pedersen (2003) use a scaled version of Amihud’s (2002) illiquidity ratio, which is a price impact proxy given by the ratio of absolute return to dollar volume, and find that liquidity risk is indeed a priced factor. Wang (2003) confirms these results using institutional equity flow as a measure of aggregate liquidity. Eckbo and Norli (2002) provide a comprehensive analysis on this issue and find that all factors, except for the return reversal measure, significantly affect the cross section of portfolio returns.
